BetterWayElectronics has released an update to their PS4 NOR Comparator. Version 1.09 adds filters and color to the tool

What is BwE PS4 NOR Comparator?

From BwE himself:

PS4 NOR Comparison Tool. Designed to take the input of multiple dumps and compare selected areas. Can even calculate dynamic offsets (where a header determines file size) and calculate the entropy of specific areas.

Features:

• Compare Offsets (Hex)

  You will be asked for an offset and then the length. An example of this would be ‘1CD601’ and then the length ‘8’. This will produce the ouput for ‘UNK Unknown Flag 6’ of a PS4 dump.

• Compare Offsets (ASCII)

  You will be asked for an offset and then the length. An example of this would be ‘1CD601’ and then the length ‘8’. This will produce the ouput for ‘UNK Unknown Flag 6’ of a PS4 dump.

• Compare Offsets MD5

  As above, this will allow for you to seek an offset and length and gather the MD5 of the area.

• Compare Offsets Entropy

  As above, but this will gather the entropy of the area you have chosen.

• Double Offset Comparison

  Here you can compare two different areas against each other, it will ask you for the offset and length for both.

• Dynamic MD5 Calculation

  This is the dynamic calculation, here you have to input the location of the offset (and length) that contains the file size, then you must input the starting offset of the file. An example of this is to get the MD5 of C0010001.BIN, you would input ‘C4024’ which is the location of the size and then size length ‘3’. This is required because the file size is different in each dump and the only way to determine the size is to read it at that offset. You then you input the start of the C0010001.BIN which is at a static location of ‘C4200’. The output will then be the MD5 of each of the files in each of the dumps.

• Compare File Entropy & Byte Count

  This will create a statistical output of the entropy and byte count for each dump, depending on how many you have in your folder this will take the longest time to complete.

• Compare File MD5

  This will create a basic list of the MD5 of every dump.
